Oskar Schlemmer - Three figures With Furniture-Like Forms, 1929
“If today's arts love the machine, technology and organization, if they aspire to precision and reject anything vague and dreamy, this implies an instinctive repudiation of chaos and a longing to find the form appropriate to our times.”
Oskar Schlemmer
